Question: Crawl before you walk (3.2) At what age do babies learn to crawl? Does it take longer to learn in the winter, when babies are often bundled in clothes that restrict their movement? Perhaps there might even be an association between babies' crawling age and the average temperature during the month they first try to crawl (around six months after birth). Data were collected from parents who brought their babies to the University of Denver Infant Study Center to participate in one of a number of studies. Parents reported the birth month and the age at which their child was first able to creep or crawl a distance of 4 feet within one minute. Information was obtained on 414 infants (208 boys and 206 girls). Crawling age is given in weeks, and average temperature (in °F) is given for the month that is six months after the birth month.
Analyze the relationship between average crawling age and average temperature. What do you conclude about when babies learn to crawl?
